Question

Sallly has 50% more Ribbons that Matty. Matty has 40 Ribbons. If Matty buys 8 more ribbons, will Sally have more or less ribbon's than Matty?

What % more or less will Sally's ribbons be?

Answer 1

Hey!

Matty has = 40 ribbons.

Sally has 50% more = 40+40*50/100.
= 40+20=60 ribbons.
If Matty buy 8 more ribbons= 40+8=48ribbon
Sally will still have 60-48=12 ribbons more than Matty.
Sally has =( 12/48)×100=1/4 ×100= 25% more ribbons than matty.

Hope it helps.
